| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central impressed stamp depicting the Garuda, the mythical bird deity and royal emblem of Siam, rendered in stylized relief within a shield-shaped or cartouche depression on the curved convex surface of the bullet-form planchet. The Garuda mark serves as the principal royal authenticating punch, applied by hammer to the upper face of the pod duang. The strike is characteristically uneven due to the hand-hammered bullet coinage technique, with the design appearing on the rounded upper surface of the nugget-shaped silver mass. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rama II ruled Siam during a period of active diplomacy with both Western powers and neighboring kingdoms, but coinage policy remained deliberately conservative — pod duang bullet coins like this one had circulated virtually unchanged for centuries, and his reign introduced no rupture with that tradition. The form itself, silver bent and stamped rather than struck flat, descends from a system that predates Bangkok by several dynastic generations.
KM#235 is distinguished from adjacent reigns primarily by its royal marks, which require careful examination. Misattribution between Chakri-era bullet coinage is frequent even in specialist collections.
